Wright chose to use a contemporary American accent rather than having the character sound like “some Oxford-educated, old, fusty guy in a tudor parlor somewhere”. Wright approached the character similarly to a live-action role, learning as much as he could about the Watcher so his voice would reflect the character’s “uniquely powerful, all-seeing, sagely presence”. Bradley said Wright was cast in the role because his voice mixes power, charisma, and authority with a “warm personality”. Bradley said the character is “above everything else” and compared him to a viewer of the “pizza rat” video, observing and not interfering, with “no interest in becoming friends with the rat, living amongst the rat, or doing rat things… That is the Watcher’s relationship with humanity.” The Watcher’s role has been likened to Rod Serling’s in The Twilight Zone. A member of the alien Watcher race who observes the multiverse.
